Anyone eles ridden the new 250r?
A friend of mine decided to buy his first bike today, So I suggested the new cbr250r 
. We went to the Honda stealership and he fell in love. So needless to say about an hour later I get to ride it home for him. I was very impressed with it to just be a 250. Looks great, rides and feels great. Very light, good response. I think Honda hit a home run with this one.
price was great also, sticker price was 4,199. He got it out the door for a lil less then 4,400
Just wondering what anyone Else's thoughts are on one.

I think they look like terrific bikes! I darn near bought a used Ninja 250 when I bought my F4 last fall. The CBR250 wasn't quite available yet then (at least in my neck of the woods). I think the 250s are a terrific size, and I WISH they'd bring the 400s back to the USA, too. I'd have a 250 and a 400 at my house for sure!

Haven't even been able to see one in person. I guess we have had 2 at our dealership but someone was already prepared to buy them before they even came in. Dang jackwagons! Lol. I'll see one eventually. I think it was a smart decision on Honda's part. And I don't think it would be a bad idea at all to bring out the 400. Just try to make them look a little more like the 600 and make sure it has the dual headlights instead of a sinle and I bet they would sell like crazy

The Bike threw a rod this morning, and it distroyed. Yup and with only 45 miles on the clock. Never was over rev, or mistreated in anyway. The honda shop is going to order a completely new replacement bike for him. It should arrive thursday. Kinda worries me now though. For it to fail that bad that soon.
